A Whole Teapot's Worth



Persephone Books of London

Wow! On the outside, these editions look like sleek, organized notebooks. On the inside, they are lined with fabrics designed by women to refelct the date and mood of the book. The bookseller prints what they refer to as, "mainly neglected fiction and non-fiction by women, for women and about women. The titles are chosen to appeal to busy women who rarely have time to spend in ever-larger bookshops and who would like to have access to a list of books designed to be neither too literary nor too commercial." Awesome. The concept and aesthetic are so great.

Persephone promises, "The books are guaranteed to be readable, thought-provoking and impossible to forget." Pretty and brainy! Perfect.
